Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 996 - She Came To England...

The three friends went to the nearby restaurant where the manager present there greeted Lu Lijun as he knew who the person was because of Lu Lijun’s frequent visits with Noah.

The manager guided their way towards the private room. The three friends went inside as they sat along the rectangular table and ordered the food.

"The Chinese you learned from me back then will come to use now," Noah said, looking at Jake, who sat opposite to him.

"I learned it because of my brother," Jake replied.

"Did I say you learned it for me?" Noah countered just to hear one more mocking reply from Jake.

"But you were the best practice tool."

"Yeah, as no one would have as much patience like me to tolerate your disastrous practice session," Noah retorted.

When these two talked, Lu Lijun silently heard their bickering, feeling relieved that at least these two talked.

Just then, the two arguing men turned to Lu Lijun, and Lu Lijun asked, "What?"

Noah shook his head, "I didn’t say anything but Jake might have something to say or ask."

Lu Lijun glared at Jake, "You know so many things already, then why to bother asking?"

Jake nodded, agreeing to it, and then concluded, "So you are not returning to England."

"Not anytime soon, but can’t be sure about later," Lu Lijun replied.

Noah suddenly thought about something and asked, "Since when did this project idea start? I mean, I’m happy that we would work together but suddenly...."

"I got to know it recently when my father instructed me to handle it. President Lu planed it," Jake replied and looked at Lu Lijun, who turned silent on mentioning her name.

Noah, too, looked at him, and Lu Lijun spoke as if he didn’t think much about it, "The project is good for both the sides."

Noah added, "It’s well planned. No wonder president Lu is invincible."

"I heard about the previous president from my father. It’s rare for my father to praise someone, but he did for your elder brother."

Just then, Noah asked curiously, "Did your father know the previous president?"

Jake nodded, "This kind of collaboration would have been done in the past if not for the....." Jake stopped and looked at Lu Lijun, "Father told me a month before the accident your elder brother came for a business trip, and he met my father at that time. Just in one meeting, father had a good impression of him."

Lu Lijun agreed, "He was one amazing person."

"This time, too, father believed in the current President when he met her last year."

Lu Lijun looked at Jake as he wished to know when they met, "Your father came to China?"

For a moment, Jake felt like why did he even talk about it, but he needed to say it.

Lu Lijun instructed, "Tell me."

"Last year, President Lu came to England," Jake replied as he didn’t look hesitant to mention it even after knowing it will affect Lu Lijun.

Lu Lijun felt shocked and hurt at the same time but tried to hide it as he spoke, "I see."

She came to England but didn’t visit him. Lu Lijun chuckled as if it didn’t matter to him, "It wouldn’t be the first time she had been to England."

Noah glared at Jake, but Jake didn’t look apologetic. He wanted to stirrup Lu Lijun to see how he reacts, but he controlled himself as usual.

Jake was worried about how long Lu Lijun would be like this. He was worried if Lu Lijun couldn’t take it one day, how badly it will affect him.

Noah decided to get the situation back to normal and spoke, "Anyways, I’m thankful to president Lu to give us a chance to spend more time together."

"More like an addition to the attempts of pushing me away," Lu Lijun mumbled, but his two friends understood what he meant.

Lu Lijun understood that Jiang Yuyan planned so many things intentionally to keep Lu Lijun’s people close to him. First, it was Noah, and now it was Jake.

She was planning everything for him in a perfect way and was preparing him for his future. It was okay if she did it, but to him, it looked as if she planned to hand him over everything once he was ready and leave everything.

Will she once again leave him on his own after making him used to her? This thought made him uneasy even though he tried to think he was not used to having her around, and it didn’t matter if she was there or not.

Noah and Jake looked at Lu Lijun, who just kept staring at the food in front of him.

"What are you thinking, Lijun?" Noah asked.

"Nothing," came the expected reply.

"If you want to talk, you know we are always here," Jake said.

"I know."

Noah looked at Jake, "By the way, you should thank your father for sending you here."

Jake just nodded and informed, "He even planned the office closed to Lu Corporations."

"What? where?" Noah asked.

"It’s in the next tower," Jake informed.

"Ohh, it would be easy to meet then," Noah commented.

The three enjoyed the food while talking about the things here and there, which pulled Lu Lijun out from his disturbing thoughts. These two friends were like medicines for him for so many years, and he felt fortunate to have them around always whenever he needed someone.

--------

In the night after the dinner, Noah left home, leaving Jake alone. Jake had decided not to disturb Noah’s life, so he didn’t say anything when he left.

When Jake was alone, he got the call from An Tian. Hearing Jake’s voice, he commented, "Seems like his highness is alone."

Ignoring it, Jake asked, "Why did you call?"

"To take away the loneliness of my brother," An Tian replied and offered, "Wanna drink?"

Jake could not sleep, so he agreed, and the two brothers met outside in the pub.

As they enjoyed the drink, An Tian asked, "Do you want to return to my home?"

Jake frowned, "As if you intended to take me back."

"I just thought to give you some time alone with Noah," An Tian explained just to get a cold glare from his brother, and An Tian spoke again, "I just want you to reconcile your friendship as you two fought last time."

"We are good," Jake assured him.
